good pan
I agree with the reviewer that said that they would have preferred it to be a thicker wall. That said, it seems to me to be a great value for the price. I did a 16 lb bird in it last week, and it worked out great. Easy to lift the cooked bird out, easy to do gravy in the pan. Easy to clean with the polished S/S finish.

just what i expected
perfect roaster for the price.
not as thick as the more expensive models, but perfect for me.
quality parts and assembly went into this pan.

I bought this item as a gift for my son-in-law. He says he loves it.

Great roaster for a modest price
Bought this roaster for our Thanksgiving turkey. It worked out wonderfully. It is not to heavy so when you get a 20 lb. turkey in it you can still lift the pan. It did a great job, nice browning, and the pan is easy to use with the stand up handles and easy to remove rack. It also worked wonderfully on top of the stove to make the gravy from the drippings. Couldn't be happier, I highly recomend this pan.

Adequate, but I was expecting more...
I really like the roasting rack. It cradles turkeys and roasts very well, while not getting itself stuck to the meat during the cooking process.

However, I was disappointed with the roasting pan itself. With it being KitchenAid Distinctions, I assumed it would be a thicker stainless steel like the rest of my set.

I like to make gravy on my stovetop with the drippings, but I'm less confident turning my back on this pan for a few seconds to drain potatoes or something because, with the thinness of the pan, the heat does not spread throughout the bottom of the pan evenly. There are distinct hot spots.

That said, the price was great. And I really do like the rack much more than any I've ever tried.
